I couldn't utter my love when it counted Ah, but I'm singing like a bird 'bout it now I couldn't whisper when you needed it shouted Ah, but I'm singing like a bird 'bout it now The words hung above But never would form Like a cry at the final Breath that is drawn Remember me, love When I'm reborn As the shrike to your sharp And glorious thorn And I'd no idea on what ground I was founded All of that goodness is goin' with you now Then when I met you, my virtues uncounted All of my goodness is goin' with you now Dragging along Following your form Hung like the pelt Of some prey you had worn Remember me, love When I'm reborn As a shrike to your sharp And glorious thorn I fled to the city with so much discounted Ah, but I'm flying like a bird to you now Back to the hedgerows where bodies are mounted Ah, but I'm flying like a bird to you now I was housed by your warmth Thus transformed By you're grounded and giving And darkening scorn Remember me, love When I'm reborn As a shrike to your sharp And glorious thorn
This song pierces the heart, sure as the bird that he has so poetically utilized in his melody. I love the guitar part too. Definitely one of his best songs from this album. Saw him on his first major tour in 2015, and regret not seeing him on this one. Looking forward to see him play live again.
Thank you very much for posting this! Shrike and To Noise Making (Sing) are my favorite Hozier songs. I was really hoping he would perform them (especially Shrike) in last year's Unreal Unearth Tour, but he didn't. At least I can watch this. Thank you!
Dear Andrew, i know your curly hair & and I love this song, but this film focus more on your precious curly hair. I know, it has nothing to do with your music, your brilliant lyrics, but I love that to. Go on with your passion, your music and the precious people who are always there to guide you all te way trough. Sorry if my englisch is not that good. I''m from Holland and a big fan for a long time. Anuna was and is also brilliant, although Anuna gets/reaches quite other emotions.
WOW. I mean, wow. Cursing the tall people in the front haha, but my goodness this was nearly like attending the concert in person. (Again, WOW). Thank-you. WHAT CAMERA OR PHONE IS THIS?? It's amazing. Warmth from Vancouver! x
@@sarahmonkey99 Ok yes a $2,500 Camera should do it! ;) Haha, no but it's astounding. And god he left his heart out there in the auditorium, my goodness. It's breathtaking this version.
the most beautiful human being i’ve ever seen in my life. he is incredible
This song is perfect at 4am when you have another sleepless night and you're trying to survive until morning...
Me right now...
Yes 😞
Yup....
Devil's 🥬
Me right now
i just know hes holding back tears. someone give him a hug
Daaamn. The emotions on this live performance. I love how his face shows off how hurtful this song can be
love his emotion in this, so incredible
Good lord, this man's talent is INSANE! The guitar in this song is gorgeous
The way he puts melody in his words along with his guitar is just gorgeous! Truly exceptional and unique!
I couldn't utter my love when it counted
Ah, but I'm singing like a bird 'bout it now
I couldn't whisper when you needed it shouted
Ah, but I'm singing like a bird 'bout it now
The words hung above
But never would form
Like a cry at the final
Breath that is drawn
Remember me, love
When I'm reborn
As the shrike to your sharp
And glorious thorn
And I'd no idea on what ground I was founded
All of that goodness is goin' with you now
Then when I met you, my virtues uncounted
All of my goodness is goin' with you now
Dragging along
Following your form
Hung like the pelt
Of some prey you had worn
Remember me, love
When I'm reborn
As a shrike to your sharp
And glorious thorn
I fled to the city with so much discounted
Ah, but I'm flying like a bird to you now
Back to the hedgerows where bodies are mounted
Ah, but I'm flying like a bird to you now
I was housed by your warmth
Thus transformed
By you're grounded and giving
And darkening scorn
Remember me, love
When I'm reborn
As a shrike to your sharp
And glorious thorn
Incredible. What an ethereal person
WHO HURT THIS MAN
From the lyrics, he did. Missed his chance.

Hozier, you look and sound so sweet, soulful and precious here ! I just want to hold you as you sing !

Their ill-timed cheers at 1:50 caused him to break short a guitar riff which he was about to repeat.
I withdraw this churlish comment which is also factually
wrong..
